My Learning activities going forward

After researching a lot in last few days, I decided to learn the following the technologies:-

Cloud Basics

Cloud Computing Technologies like Hadoop, Map Reduce, HBase

Mobile Application Development using Android, iOS and HTML 5

Using Social APIs

Functional Languages like Groovy and Scala using Grails and Play Framework

(No)SQL DB like MongoDB and Cassandra

Business Analytics using R, SPSS etc.

The basis of my decision off-course come from various job posting sites, communities and Google Trends. I would like my friends to provide me more inputs into the choice of technologies. Learning all these technologies would be a mammoth task and would take a long time. The best way would be to approach my friends, encourage them to take a technology each and start a collaborative approach to learning. So my next steps will be to approach my friends and encourage them to take up one technology area. Before that, I need to finalize which technology area I would consider for myself to start with. Then comes the question of selecting the right book. I plan to finalize things by the end of next week and start learning the week after. Let's see how it works out.
